The Toronto Maple Leafs may not want to give a big raise to a player who plays a position they are very deep at.
The question they have to ask is if Travis Dermott is part of the long term solution or if should be used in a deal to potentially make the team better?
The Toronto Maple Leafs have Rielly, Muzzin, Rosen and Sandin who all play the left side. If one of these player can’t move to the right side, then one has to go.
Barrie and Ceci are set to walk into free agency, so there is a spot available on the right-hand side for Dermott if that is the case.
